The Westport News (est 1871) is produced, printed and published in Westport, daily Monday to Friday. We focus on local news. We also feature national and international news and sport, farming, education, arts and ‘health & home’ pages.

Westport is Buller’s main town, serving a population of 10,000. Buller, Westland and South Westland make up the West Coast of the South Island.

The region (pop 30,000) is New Zealand’s scenic wonderland with rainforests, glaciers, mountains and limestone caves. Its main industries are coal mining, cement making, farming, fishing and tourism.

West Coasters are famous for their warm hospitality, fierce independence and individuality.
